At the moment, Ronda Rousey is well known for her lethal skills in the WWE. But before that, she established a reputation for herself in the UFC and held the title of women’s bantamweight champion. Former UFC fighter, Brendan Schaub, was her boyfriend back then. And once he mentioned the dark side of ‘Rowdy’ while talking about her.

On their podcast, ‘The Fighter The Kid’, Bryan Callen, and Schaub discussed Rowdy’s 2016 UFC battle with Holly Holm after she lost. During that, Schaub brought attention to Rousey’s flaws as a person.

Schaub and Callen on the podcast talked about how Rousey was so enraged after her loss that she cursed Paige VanZant at a Reebok party as she tweeted her congratulations to Holms after winning the fight. Callen said that Rousey referred to VanZant as “Fairweather b**ch” during the event.

Bryan Callen was of the opinion it was not civil and showed ‘poor sportsmanship’.

Schaub added and compared her personality to a rattlesnake. In his words, “Well, it’s coming out now. Like if you are a d*** it’s not the way the show’s edited, it’s not the way you come off in an interview, it’s just your personality. She is as friendly as a rattlesnake. Love it or hate it, that’s what you get. I don’t think anyone should be surprised. It is what it is.”

Post her defeat to Holly Holm, Rousey returned after a year to the UFC and lost against Amanda Nunes.
